Sorry to have been missing folks. I was at my middle brothers bedside in Mississippi when he died. I got home late Sunday the 23rd of January and my computer promptly died also. Just got it rebuilt. New MOBO, CPU and Memory. Still recovering from the trip and the loss.

For my Christian friends: Merry Christmas and best wishes.
For my Jewish friends: Happy Hanukkah.
For my Muslim friends: I will be thinking of you with appreciation.
For my Pagan friends: Happy Winter Solstice.
For my Atheist Friends: May you be happy.

For everyone, I think a lot of how I am blessed to have so many friends and I wish you all the best.

Thanks to you, I enjoy the freedom to disagree with my government. Thanks to you, I enjoy the personal freedom found nowhere else in the world. Thanks to you, I can hold my head up proudly or bow it in humility. Thanks to you, I can worship freely, no matter my religious leanings or stand without a professed faith without persecution.
